What’s with the name ‘Pomegranate’?

First, pomegranates are delicious, beautiful and have a tough skin (needed for business leadership). When opened up, they reveal countless, meticulously packed seeds. This combination of beauty, design, and sense of wonder is what we strive for with Pomegranate Consulting.

Secondly, the rural, country property I grew up on had pomegranate trees growing wild in our yard. My brothers and I would frequently battle with pomegranate seeds outfitted in our maroon stained clothes because of the abundance of pomegranates in the fall. I always enjoy a ripe pomegranate, and even more when they were made into wine or jelly by my Dad (RIP).

How did Pomegranate Consulting begin?

For 20 years, I poured myself into a Fortune 100 Financial Institution to glean everything I could about business strategy and executive development. The firm, recognizing my strong work ethic, drive, and determination, invested in my skills and knowledge advancement leveraging the best higher education institutes, teachers, and organizations. The trajectory of my career moved quickly and I felt fortunate to be contributing to Board Room presentations and advising C-suite executives.

An insightful night at my local dive bar, the birth of my second child, and my father’s sudden passing combined to stop me in my fast-paced tracks. Within the whirlwind of emotions, I felt a yearning for something different in my professional career. I was drawn to help those with aspiring potential and share the expertise I had. By channeling this “ah-ha” moment, Pomegranate Consulting was founded. A company where I can utilize my greatest strengths to help clients ignite and pursue their passions.

“I do what I do because I've seen incredible creative and talented people drown under the weight of doing the thing they love…. the thing they were made to do. After years acquiring business and career growth expertise, I knew I could help.

This work is about my clients finding margin, rest, success, and joy in the doing what they love again. Their dreams are why I do what I do.”

The summit deepened my understanding of myself and others and cultivated my own strengths to allow me to become a more effective leader. Thank you! - Shannon, Go Docent

“How do you feel the adventure aspect of the Retreat made the learning stick?”

from the CEO: “It comes within the stages of learning… the opportunity to observe as well as experience behavior under challenging conditions. Learning brings us out of our comfort zone, creates stress, challenges our communication as well as provides opportunities to cross over new thresholds of achievement. The coaching aspect, whether executive or sport, provides the opportunity for practice and repetitions of the right physical or cognitive behaviors is necessary for positive behavior change and mastery.”

Hiring Pomegranate Consulting to help with the development of our organization’s retreat was a great decision. Tawni is pragmatic and practical and has a laser-sharp focus on the priorities that need to be addressed to be more effective. One example of how Tawni helped us is when she refocused our reports to show our team how they could add value behind the numbers. And, it worked! I am beyond thrilled!

The Enneagram training that we did with Tawni was a very valuable skill-building exercise for our firm – and it was fun identifying with one another in a new way! Being able to better understand how people of different personality types communicate and interpret information has enhanced our internal teamwork and perhaps even more importantly, how we think about communications with our investors.
